RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. NŹkiāwah brother.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobsāeven multiple jobsāaren't safe from homelessness in this country.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built Americaās middle class.

it'll be funny when the news is like "a nation is mourning" and then can't find a single live shot that doesn't include people very clearly partying their asses off
I keep thinking about how the COVID vaccine was rolled out for free for all Americans in 2021 by the federal & state governments with support from local health departments & universities. Since, we have seen the privatization of delivery thru commercial pharmacies & the need for insurance coverage.
The giant star Betelgeuse appears to have a secret companion. We missed it before because it's only a little bigger than our Sun. And it's going fast: The companion star is likely to spiral in and be destroyed in about 10,000 years. š§Ŗš noirlab.edu/public/news/...

(1/X) Sometimes people ask "why does this supposedly reasonable Republican back Trump or why does this centrist spend all of this time attacking the left at a time when the right is destroying the country?" The answer is simple: it's because they're assholes.
Every time I see a photo of RFK Jr I'm surprised human faces and skin tones can look like that
After 50 years of failure in that attempt perhaps āfuck āem letās just enact universal health careā is the best approach. Ultimately when our taxes go only to evil things itās easy to maintain the outlook that taxes are theft and evil. Doing good things for people does what youāre trying to do.

The COVID-19 pandemic undermined the right in several key ways: 1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them. 2) It showed that the markets canāt solve everything. 2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election. 4) Government relief proved popular and effective

The 2025 Republican Party in the United States is a pedophilic Christo-fascist death cult and should be treated as such
Yes. Our Democratic electeds need to fucking hate Republicans the way we hate Republicans.
People are actively debating whether a minority should have human rights and this is seen as "practical discourse" but if we suggest men should get vasectomies if they don't like abortion then it's the end of Western civilization itself
This isn't going to stop until this country values people over guns
They specifically uploaded the 'NUMIDENT' file. This record includes your name, social security number, your birth date, your birth place, your parents' names and social security numbers, gender, and immigration status. The security threat is profound.

"...the Israeli military and government establishment were not in a position to fully explain yet. We could almost never get answers that explained what happened before the story was fully framed in international media..." A wise response to Israel's fucking around would be to withhold US aid.

I abhor collective punishment and I don't think it's moral to sentence me and my kiddos to a harder existence just because I couldn't personally convince millions of Oklahomans to vote the way I did.
I get this sentiment, I do. I grew up in Oklahoma and live here now so I can tell you with certainty that unchecked regressive GOP rule will ruin your corner of the world. "If it sucks so bad, just move!" Sweetie who's gonna pay for that? You gonna chip in? No? Then don't tell me to "just move."
Itās honestly kind of impressive how MAGA guys bleat about traditional masculinity but then embody none of the actual virtues (courage, discipline, honesty in the face of difficulty, self-control, restraint) that make up traditional Western masculinity.
A whistleblower complaint says that the personal data of over 300 million Americans was copied to a private cloud account to allow access by members of the Department of Government Efficiency team.
What's funnier: That they're blaming whale deaths on wind turbines, or That RFK Jr. thinks Trump cares about whales and the environment at all.
Is he gonna try to put all the whale heads on top of his car?
apart from electing a black president nothing has driven more Americans irrevocably insane than the requirement that they participate in the collective good
So, like, even if there hadn't been two Supreme Court decisons in living memory directly holding that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment, *new criminal laws cannot be created by executive order.*
It's been two weeks since Donald last set foot on a golf course. If the swollen ankles, hand makeup, increased slurring, and further cognitive decline didn't give you a clue, the golf thing should.
Oklahoma leaders just sent $157M in public health funding back to DC. That means fewer vaccines for kids, fewer newborn screenings, and less disease surveillance. This isnāt āefficiencyāāitās negligence. Families deserve better.

There was a piece in Politico recently about how the Dems just can't raise any money right now. I'm shocked that "fascism is just a distraction" isn't working for them.
It all makes sense if you figure a lot of corporate Democrats' wealthy donors are in the Epstein Files; Nancy and Hakeem are throwing up chaff to prevent us from verifying they don't actually have a plan to fight authoritarian fascism, because they benefit from it.
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
"President Trump didn't do anything wrong." Sure, if you're the kind of person who thinks there's nothing wrong with sexual assault. Right, Gym Jordon?

We can come up with: $2MIL to turn the Rose Garden into a Fuddruckers. $200MIL for a ballroom. $1BIL to upgrade an airplane Quatar couldnāt sell. $450MIL (so far) for golf trips. $2BIL to paint a few 100 miles of border wall. Yet kids with cancer must stop being so needy.
this is why Zohran Mamdani is unbothered by people trying to police his language on Israel Palestine, because he knows that his actual principles are defensible (a state should have equal rights for all) and theirs are not (apartheid for our special friends only)
anyways the problem with the Democratic Party is not the language its leaders use but the principles they lack if you know what you believe in itās not actually that complicated to express it effectively
We can't swing at every pitch. Loading people into railroad cars is a distraction.
And the obstacle with two sticks that he goes through? Try going from the wheat field to the pasture through a barbed wire fence by yourself and trying not to get your hair caught and definitely trying not to get scratched because that would mean a 30 minute car ride into town for a tetanus shot š

They lied. It's time to hold them accountable.
The United States government under the Trump regime is actively driving vulnerable species to extinction. If you want to know what low genetic diversity does to a species, look into cheetahs. The USFWS is condemning Mexican gray wolves to the same fate.
